Talk:Waldwick, New Jersey

"Waldwick" isn't Lenni Lenape. It's Old English, from "wald" (forest) and "wick" (settlement, place). 128.101.230.159 (talk) 20:21, 16 October 2008 (UTC)

I grew up in Waldwick, and was surprised that this article never mentioned the Zamore houses that won an architectural award in the mid 50s when they were designed. Considering how many of these houses are in Waldwick, it should be a topic of interest. My father, Nathaniel Bogdanove, was also part of Waldwick history. He served on the council in 1970 and ran for mayor in 1971 with Buddy Litchi and Ted Bell on the same ticket, running for council. My father passed away suddenly on October 26, 1971, too later to have his name removed from the ballot. He was elected mayor posthumously by a wide margin.Bogframe (talk) 03:08, 26 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Do you have or can you point to any public sources that would provide references for this information? Alansohn (talk) 03:20, 26 October 2008 (UTC)

Death noted in the NY Times Nathaniel Bogdanove The full article might note he was a candidate (if you pay $3.95) but not his election, since that would have happened in the next month. I do remember that a candidate for mayor died just before his election, but my memories are of course not citable in the main article. The place to look would be the archives of the "Bergen Evening Record" which was headquarted in Hackensack (I think it is now called "The Record"). Chris (talk) 14:17, 28 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Aside from the obvious conflict of interest here, just being elected posthumously is not much of a distinction. There have been U.S. Senators, Congressmen, Members of Parliament, etc. elected that way. Your father is not notable for that; sorry. -- Orange Mike  &#x007C;   Talk  21:19, 25 February 2010 (UTC)
